APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN: A Preacher’s Divine Mission And Passion
The General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries Int’l, Apostle Johnson Suleman, recently had the Onitsha Restoration Crusade in Anambra State, Nigeria. Just like the Tulsa, Oklahoma, American edition which came before it, the Anambra crusade was a huge success. A charity agent, Suleman’s evangelistic missions have taken him to all the continents of the world.
As the Word of God has the ability to impact not only one’s spirit and mind but also one’s physical body, Apostle Johnson Sulemanhas always demonstrated how the power of God heals in significant ways. The Servant of God, in his ministering element, practically inserts the Word into people and it went right into the mind and impacted every fiber of the body systems. At the end of the day, the mission gives people the opportunity to share testimonies.
At the OFM, people are witnesses to miracles God performs and has been performing for more than twenty years since its launch. The fast spreading ministry, headquartered in Auchi, Edo State, has 49 other branches across the world, while Suleman has ignited many dimensions of Christianity characterized by charity, signs, wonders and healing miracles, around the globe.
At a recent healing conference, there was the case of a man who has had mental problem for eight years and left his house three years ago into the streets. He was chained to the crusade and the healing power of Jesus through Apostle Suleman healed him.Also, there was this woman who was said to have come to share a testimony, but the spirit of prophecy took up her case and revealed to the Apostle the real issues about her. According to the man of God, he realized right there that her destiny had been diverted. “She was compelled to join the Police instead of her Evangelistic ministry by her parents. This gave the devil access to her and afflicted her mind. After this was revealed, she wept uncontrollably, agreed with the prophecy given and of course, hands were laid on her and she was whole and her mind was restored.”
The latest from his milk of kindness was a donation of $7,000 (seven thousand dollars) cash he made to the New Day Youth And Family Services, Oklahoma during the Tulsa Raw Power Conference. Apart from the testimony from a woman who came to return glory to God for the divine blessing she received at the Kenya Conference. The woman, before she attended the Kenya Conference, was already at a dead end, nothing was working for her. She has done all she could, yet no new thing happened in her life. She attended the Kenya Restoration Conference at the KICC, Nairobi where Apostle Suleman gave her a prophetic Word which enabled her to secure Visas to the US.
Giving out the gifts, Apostle Suleman said at The Christ Chapel of Oral Roberts University where thousands from across the world had gathered for the Raw Power Tulsa, is on God’s instructions. God directs me at will to do these things which fire my compassion for men, pursuit for lost souls and mandate to wipe out tears and restore men and women to their destinies. My actions are of God.
Of recent, Apostle Suleman had embarked on wide range of aids to different categories of people, from the nameless to celebrities. The firebrand preacher gave out 9 classy cars worth 2 million each, with cash gift ranging between N100,000 and N250,000 to more than thirty people, while several members of the church, in the heroic scheme aimed at challenging the well-to-do in the society to focus their wealth more on the poor, got various gift items which include refrigerators, Plasma TV sets, power generators, gas cookers and other household needs.During a Sunday service, precisely on November 13th, 2016, Suleman, as earlier promised, dazzled another youth leader in his ministry a posh car. A fast rising comedian popularly known as Filky, was also blessed with a new car, while an international music minister, Marvel Joks, got a new SUV from the man called God’s Oracle.
“I have tasted poverty. I come from a very humble background. My parents were Muslim before I was called. So, I knew how it felt to be poor. That is why I believe that the less-privileged of today can become important personalities tomorrow. My mission is all about preaching to souls and giving to the needy. What I do every year in the open that you may think is big is just a fraction of what I do to help many in the corner”, said the man of God who noted that his giving in the public is not to show off but to give the opportunity to those who have but does not give, to start giving.
Aside the annual charity programme, Apostle Suleman whose best philosophy is ‘gospel is practical not only spiritual’, also has many indigent students on scholarship, widows on his personal payroll, also the physically challenged while he takes it upon himself to donate boreholes and electricity transformers sometimes to assist communities. One interesting aspect of Suleman’s humanitarian outline is the fact that it is extended to everyone irrespective of religion affiliations, as it even attracts mass of people from different faiths.
Suleman, speaking during one of his many humanitarian packages, said that his giving spirit was borne out of necessity and desire to lift people in need and offer them a chance to have a better life. “In continual expansion”, he added, “We believe that only together we can fight for a better life. Over the years, my ministry has rescued many poor families and sick people, whom we helped to live with the aid of our volunteers and people with big hearts. Whether we give money, items, food, water, clothes or even houses to people, all our undertaken actions have taught us that life is beautiful and that we must fight for it and help others enjoy it too.”
Unknown to many, Apostle Suleman was already a successful businessman before he started the Omega Fire Ministry. He is the chairman of Hosanna Conglomerate, with vast interests in real estate, oil & gas, banking, transport, print and broadcast media and publishing both in Nigeria and America. Clearing doubts on the source of his amazing philanthropic life, Suleman said; “I give to people on instructions from God. The cash and cars I give to the less privileged, they are purchased with my personal money. I don’t take from the church purse because church money cannot even sustain me. I have 106 widows that are paid 20, 000 monthly since the past four years and are given half a bag of rice each every Thursday. Apostle Johnson Suleman Doles Out $7, 000 Cash, $5,000 Items To American Orphanage And Methodist Home For Children
In his spirit of giving, while at the Philadelphia Restoration Conference tagged Raw Power last June, 2016, Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM), once again demonstrated his love and compassion on those not as privileged as he is.At the last Onitsha Restoration Crusade, Apostle Suleman blessed people with the sum of N700, 000. They included a retired female school teacher who got N150, 000 from the man of God because she had not been paid her gratuity and retirement benefits since she left service. There was this woman and her husband who brought their ailing son to the Onitsha crusade. The son was suffering from what the doctors called cerebrospina disorder, a condition where the fluid in the marrow is in excess or insufficient and therefore causes the head to swell. The Oracle of God prayed for the son and the head was normalized. Also at the Onitsha crusade, a man regained his sight after ten years in total blindness. Another woman was prayed for who crawled to the crusade and then walked. There was also a police officer attached to provide security at the event who was located by God while on duty and, according to Sulemn, his file of blessings was instantly opened.
Early July, 2016, Apostle Suleman paid a visit to The Methodist Services, Philadelphia. The visit was done on the platform of his ‘Touch of Love Foundation’ but tagged ‘Touch of Love Inc.’ in the US. He gave $7,000 in cash and items worth $4,500. He also gave $1,500 to a baby girl during the conference. Also in August, the Servant of God shocked a Poly student with a car worth N2 million and N250, 000 cash gift. Also, a church member, Mr. Afedume, who has been consistent with God, received a Sienna car from the Oracle of God. Afedume is a father with family of eight. He is an usher in the church who combines transporting his large family to and from the church to caring for church members and guests. The Holy Spirit spurred Apostle Suleman who took pity on him for all his efforts and presented him the car to ease his traffic.
During a Sunday service in September, a Nollywood actor, EmmaBlaq, was among those that met with blessings from Suleman who dashed him the sum of N1.6 million and a Peugeot 206 Convertible car.Also, that day, promised the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, a 700-room, self-contained blocks of building at a reduced price which groundbreaking event took off recently. He also gave out two SUVs and two cars worth over N20m to workers in his ministry whose contributions to the work of God in the commission have been immense and selfless.
Before then, Suleman had given N7m cash to some youth corps members who were at the Auchi, Edo State headquarters of his Omega Fire Ministries on a courtesy visit.
Speaking on his regular giving schemes, Apostle Suleman, who has many charitable outreaches like ‘Voice of Fire’, ‘Turning Point’,‘New Anointing’, ‘My Turn’, ‘Moment of Grace’, ‘Freedom Hour’, ‘Saved’, ‘Jehovah The Doctor’, ‘Power To Excel’, and several others that are channeled to educate leaders, assist the poor and care for the sick, will say; “We are blessed to be a blessing to others.I don’t do this to please the world. I do it to please God.”
Suleman, is not just blessed with the gift of firebrand preaching, and powers of divine healing and prophecy, his mega outreach also serves as conduit through which vital services are provided to local communities. On the side, Suleman writes books, many that inspire sickness-free life, God-centered dating relationships; in all about 52 motivational books have been authored by the prophet whose life story itself would motivate and inspire whoever is desirous to shake off a bad past and step into a bright future. He is returning to Lagos between December 15th and 16th for the next leg of a crusade tagged ‘Fresh Fire’.
Speaking of the Tulsa Raw Power conference, the man of God said who will be returning to Dallas Texas in America on November 29th said; “it was indeed awesome. God manifested Himself in many miraculous ways. It is a written pact that God’s works done in God’s way never lack positive supplies. God has always been wonderful. The conference was a two-day explosive deliverance episode that was filled with signs of His glory and power. Many things new did happen in the life of many. Of course, when Jesus calls, the world gathers; listens and profits hugely.”
He is always ready to move around the world preaching the gospel. Where is the next port of call? He said; “God has sent His servant to the world to bring restoration and grace to all who would believe. Now, God just made the world to experience His presence in Oklahoma, America, as people from all parts of America yearned anxiously for the great encounter and received bountifully from His grace, the next Raw Power train will move to Turkey through November 22ndand 23rd. And God has promised us it is also going to be a fulfilling encounter in the life of the hopeless and the downtrodden. As we move around the world through His special grace, millions of people are being freed from all evil foundations that temporarily hold their glories, finances, health, spiritual life and family success.Turkey is going to experience unforgettable moments and results with God. The country is going to experience grace. It is going to be miracles all over; challenges shall end, storms shall disappear, and the mighty presence of God shall manifest.”
Asked to comment on the fact that some people are still not convinced about the efficacy of miracles, in spite of obvious testimonies, he said; “Over the years, we have had many misguided information and opinions about prophets and the Word. But the truth is, God uses His prophets to corrects, directs, instructs, encourage and imparts His children. Where there are no prophets, there confusion reigns. Prophetic encounters bring answers to all forms of want as God opens the root causes as well as the solutions to several life-long and generational challenges through His prophets. The world cannot do without prophetic intervention.”
Meanwhile, looking at pastors of large congregations today, only a select few of them do tend to contribute hugely to a wide range of charities and community outreach efforts. Among this very few is Apostle Johnson Suleman.From the early Christianity to the modern age, genuine Christians have carried with them, a beneficial concept of charity that has had, and continues to have, a substantial impact on humanity. Suleman is a perfect example of this tradition of old. It is always a moment of joy and fulfillment for members of his Omega Fire Ministries and even strangers,the less privileged including widows, widowers and vulnerable children when he blesses them during his regular charity scheme.
For Suleman, a man is permitted to cry, but tears of life are not final.
Suleman was in Monrovia, three weeks ago. upon his arrival, Liberians knew they were about to experience the hand of God like never before because it was what they had anticipated when his coming to the country was earlier announced. The Liberia conference and the Lagos experience that came a week after it both witnessed a large turnout of God-seekers. However, the Monrovia crusade was a never-seen-before kind of audience, as the 25, 000-capacity stadium, was filled to the brim while the excess of 10, 000 settled for the open field. The Vice-President of Liberia, His Excellency Joseph Boakai and the country’s police chief, Col. Gregory Coleman, confirmed they had never seen witness a church crusade. It was indeed healing and miracle galore. The lame, the crippled, the demon possessed, the blind, the deaf and the dumb received healing. And he blessed some with cash gifts and many received deliverance and prosperity. 8 wheel chairs and 23 crutches were dropped by their bearers on the first night of the two-day crusade. While the crusade lasted, medical doctors who witnessed the hearings after prayers were simply amazed.
Sharing the challenges any honest man of God might encounter in the course of spreading the Gospel, Apostle Suleman said that, for him, “the greatest challenge so far is, wickedness in the hearts of men everywhere, though not a challenge to God. Men of God called to proclaim the Gospel of Christ in truth cannot be separated from having challenges in their various assignments as challenges are part of the call. The general challenge in respective of the call is the flesh and the devil. If these two things are removed, there won’t be any challenge.”

Group Signs Investment Promotion Agreement in Ivory Coast as UNIPGC Deploys Funding for Capital Projects
Group Signs Investment Promotion Agreement in Ivory Coast as UNIPGC Deploys Funding for Capital Projects
– Ivorycoast, Cot’devouir
Noble & Gold Consulting Ltd has officially signed a partnership agreement with Gicobat Group of Company to facilitate funding for capital projects in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, through the UNIPGC–Global Economic Development Council (GEDC), during a high-level Business and Investment Roundtable held in the country.
The meeting, which took place on May 12, 2026, at the World Trade Centre in Abidjan, brought together senior executives and stakeholders from both organizations, including His Excellency, Amb. Jonathan Ojadah GCOP, Global President of UNIPGC; Mr. Noble Eze, CEO of Noble & Gold Consulting Ltd; and the Chairman of Gicobat Group of Company, Côte d’Ivoire.
The roundtable focused on opportunities for capital project financing, investment promotion, and business development across strategic sectors of the economy. Following extensive deliberations, the parties finalized terms and signed an agreement aimed at advancing the projects discussed during the engagement.
Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the UNIPGC-GEDC, His Excellency Amb. Jonathan Ojadah, delivered a presentation titled *“How Reputable Brands Can Secure Funding for Capital Projects.”* He stated that the agreement represents a major milestone in supporting high-profile business initiatives that require structured financing and professional project management.
According to him, the partnership aligns with UNIPGC-GEDC’s mandate as a leading investment promotion, advisory, and business development institution operating across Africa and internationally.
> “Today, I am delighted to address this important topic on how leaders of established and reputable brands can secure the capital required for major expansion, technological advancement, or infrastructure development. The objective is not merely to find funding, but to attract the right funding at the most competitive cost of capital,” he stated.
He emphasized that brand reputation remains a critical asset in attracting investors and financial institutions.
> “In business, reputation is everything. In the world of capital-intensive projects, reputation is more than public perception; it is an asset class. A reputable brand represents stability, proven performance, and trustworthiness,” he added.
Amb. Ojadah further noted that successful funding processes begin long before formal investment pitches are made. According to him, investors seek organizations that demonstrate value stewardship, operational excellence, and financial discipline.
Drawing from his international experience in capital project engagements across Egypt, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and other countries, he highlighted several categories of major funding institutions involved in large-scale development financing. These include multilateral development banks, government agencies, private foundations, and impact investors focused on infrastructure, healthcare, real estate, energy, oil and gas, and sustainable development.
Among the institutions he referenced were the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the European Union (EU), the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), the OPEC Fund for International Development, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Mastercard Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the UNIPGC Foundation.
He explained that through the UNIPGC Global Economic Development Council (GEDC), the organization facilitates funding opportunities for startups, private sector operators, and government projects through public-private partnerships (PPP), leveraging its network of international funding partners and financial institutions.
Amb. Ojadah identified three critical indicators commonly assessed by investors and lenders before financing projects:
1. **Transparency and Financial Performance** – Organizations must maintain audited financial records, quality assets, and sustainable growth patterns.
2. **Operational Excellence** – Investors prefer businesses with proven operational systems and stable cash flow generation, which reduce investment risks.
3. **A Strong Project Narrative** – Businesses must clearly demonstrate how proposed projects align with long-term strategic goals such as digital transformation, automation, infrastructure expansion, or increased market competitiveness.
He also outlined key strategies reputable brands can adopt in securing project financing, including bank financing, strategic partnerships, vendor financing arrangements, private equity investments, and asset-based lending structures.
> “Securing capital for projects as a reputable brand is ultimately about combining trust with strategic planning. Reputation is your strongest asset, and when paired with sound financial planning and a compelling vision, it becomes a powerful tool for building the future,” he concluded.
For Gicobat Group of Company, the partnership is expected to accelerate the execution of ongoing and proposed projects by leveraging UNIPGC-GEDC’s network of investors and financial partners. Officials of the company expressed confidence that the collaboration would significantly improve project implementation timelines and financing accessibility.
Organizers noted that the choice of the World Trade Centre, Abidjan, as the venue reflected the international scope and significance of the engagement, particularly for negotiations involving capital-intensive projects in infrastructure, trade, and industrial development.
UNIPGC-GEDC describes itself as a leading global investment promotion, advisory, and business development consultancy, working with governments, private enterprises, and institutional investors to structure, finance, and manage large-scale projects from inception to completion.
According to the organization, the Abidjan agreement adds to its expanding portfolio of strategic partnerships aimed at unlocking capital for projects with significant economic and social impact. It also confirmed that due diligence and project structuring processes had been completed prior to the signing to ensure project bankability and investor confidence.
Officials from both organizations further disclosed that implementation teams would be constituted immediately to oversee the next phase of the agreement. Although specific project details were not disclosed, both parties assured stakeholders that updates would be communicated as implementation milestones are achieved.
UNIPGC-GEDC also encouraged businesses, institutions, and investors with high-impact projects requiring financing or management support to engage with its team for collaboration opportunities. Further information on its services is available via UNIPGC-GEDC Official Website www.unipgc.org/gedc

Dennis Ekamah Isn’t Building Houses—He’s Redefining What Home Means for Africans Through PropTech
Dennis Ekamah Isn’t Building Houses—He’s Redefining What Home Means for Africans Through PropTech.
The founder of coHouse.ng is reimagining how millions of Africans access, experience, and share housing through technology.
In Africa’s rapidly evolving innovation landscape, the most transformative companies are no longer defined by the industries they enter, but by the systems they redesign.
For Dennis Ekamah, the opportunity was never about constructing buildings, it was about confronting a deeper question.
why is access to housing still so structurally difficult for millions of Africans in a digital age?
Rather than stepping into real estate as a developer. Dennis chose a different path, positioning coHouse.ng as a PropTech platform rethinking how housing is accessed, experienced, and shared. At the heart of this vision which is connecting potential home owners together via resource pooling for the purpose of either Living or Growth. Simply, *Connect. Live. Grow.*
*A Platform Not a Property Company*
coHouse.ng is not a real estate company. It is a technology-driven ecosystem connecting like-minded individuals into structured communities where they can live intentionally, invest collectively, and grow within a shared system.
From Insight to Recognition
In 2025, coHouse.ng was recognised among the Top 50 Tech Startups in Africa. Even ahead of its official launch, the platform attracted over 1,000 early waitlist users, individuals eager to be part of a new way of living and investing.
Solving for Access, Alignment, and Trust
Dennis Ekamah’s diagnosis goes deeper than supply shortfalls. The real barriers he argues are access, coordination, and trust. coHouse.ng tackles all three through identity verification powered by a third party verification system api. coHouse is not flying solo without the help and collaboration with government bodies across Nigeria and other African countries.
In his words;
“Imagine what you would achieve as an individual or group if you’re living with the right people or like-minded individuals around you.”
I’m not a developer, I’m not a professional realtor, I’m just someone who sees the need for this solution based on the problem we face as youth/young entrepreneurs in today’s housing deficiency across Africa.

Landmark Judgment: Federal High Court Dismisses ₦50bn Oil Spill Claim Against ExxonMobil
Landmark Judgment: Federal High Court Dismisses ₦50bn Oil Spill Claim Against ExxonMobil
The Federal High Court sitting in Uyo has dismissed a ₦50 billion lawsuit filed against ExxonMobil, sued as Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, now Seplat Energy Producing, in a ruling analysts say could significantly reshape oil spill litigation and compensation claims in Nigeria’s petroleum sector.
Delivering judgment on April 29, 2026, Justice Onyetenu held that the suit instituted by the Ejige Ore Njenyisi Muma & Fishing Co-operative Society Ltd was incompetent and liable to dismissal for lack of jurisdiction.
The plaintiffs had sought ₦50 billion in damages over an alleged hydrocarbon spill said to have occurred on September 12, 2021.
However, counsel to the defendant, Chinonso Ekuma of KENNA LP, successfully argued that the claimants failed to disclose any legally recognisable violation attributable to the oil firm.
In its findings, the court held that the plaintiffs failed to establish any actionable wrongdoing against the defendant.
A key element in the court’s decision was the Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) Report tendered by the plaintiffs themselves, which showed that the alleged spill incident was confined within ExxonMobil’s operational facility and did not impact the members of the cooperative society or their sources of livelihood.
The court further ruled that claims arising from such incidents must be pursued strictly under the statutory compensation framework provided in Section 11(5) of the Oil Pipelines Act, rather than through common-law claims founded on negligence or nuisance.
Justice Onyetenu held that the plaintiffs’ attempt to circumvent the statutory regime by framing the suit as a tort action rendered the matter incompetent before the court, thereby depriving it of jurisdiction.
Legal analysts say the judgment reinforces the supremacy of the Oil Pipelines Act in determining compensation procedures relating to oil pipeline incidents and environmental claims in Nigeria.
The ruling is also seen as strengthening the evidential weight of Joint Investigation Visit Reports, particularly in cases where such reports indicate no direct impact on claimants or host communities.
Industry observers believe the judgment will have far-reaching implications for future oil spill litigation, especially regarding the procedural requirements for compensation claims against oil operators.
The court’s decision further provides clarity for operators within Nigeria’s energy sector by reaffirming that compliance with Section 11(5) of the Oil Pipelines Act is mandatory and cannot be sidestepped through alternative legal formulations.
While K.O. Uzuokwu appeared for the plaintiffs, the defence was led by Chinonso Ekuma of KENNA LP on behalf of ExxonMobil.
